Reply to comment by anymorenevermore in [D] Will there be a replacement for Machine Learning Twitter? by MrAcurite

I would bet 0.01% is an underestimate.

At least among the faculty, PhDs, grad students, and developers I follow in ML/neuroscience, about 15-20% are on Mastadon.

They didn't say "15-20% of ML Twitter", they said "15-20% of the ML people I follow on Twitter". Migrations to different platforms have their own sort of network effects, so anyone active on Mastodon probably has an above average share of their Twitter circle also active on Mastodon.

In terms of the overall share of ML Twitter, the only claim was "greater than 0.01%".

You cannot even spell correctly the name, that tells you everything about its popularity

.. You must not read many academic papers.

Spoiler alert: many science papers have typos
